Notes

Slice, don't mash!

Make sure you keep the avocado in small chunks and don't fully mash it. This will give the salsa a better texture and a more vibrant presentation.

How do you keep the avocado from turning brown?

Lime juice helps slow oxidation, but the best method is minimizing air exposure. Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface.

How do you store this dish?

This recipe will only last about 1 extra day in the fridge in an airtight container. The color still may change a bit though.

How can the kids help?

Have them toss everything into the bowl and mix well!
